Great! ;)

Removed the suffix in patch v3. Not sure if it is correct, though. I do use a
base of 2, so K = 1024, M = 1048576, ...

This is what ifconfig behaves as well. Output should give the exact same
numbers (except the suffix):

Fixed.

Hopefully I got the line breaks right. How to check print_link_stats32()?
Even von i686 ip calls print_link_stats64() on my systems.

I did some minor changes to the error stats column alignment. Is that ok? See
the difference of before and after:

# ip -s -s link list en    # before
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP
